đ„ Yesterday's funniest viral moments from EURO 2024 and Copa AmĂ©rica đ
EURO 2024 continued on Monday with some late drama in Italyâs game with Croatia, and another win for Spain.
Here is the best that social media and the fans on the ground in Germany had to offer yesterday. Let us know in the comments if we missed anything!
Italians mad at food
That Albanian fan already showed us earlier in the tournament why you shouldnât mess with spaghetti, but just in case you needed another reminder.

Italians are also pretty strict about when you should and shouldnât drink cappuccino too, donât forget.

Ravioli or Coq au vin?
Speaking of food, this Dutch TV skit is comfortably the best critique of VAR we have seen yet.

Itâs satire! At least, we think it is.
La Dolce Vita
POV: Your team just scored a 98th-minute equaliser to book their spot in the knockout stages.

but my god what a moment

The saddest MOTM ever
Luka ModriÄâs goalscoring performance was enough to earn him the Player of the Match award, but that late Italy goal sent Croatia crashing out, and the 38-year-old maestro has likely played his last match for his country.
He didnât exactly look thrilled to pick up his award after the match.

But this lovely tribute paid to him by an Italian journalist in the post-match press conference seemed to cheer him up a little bit.
Heads held high
Albaniaâs defeat to Spain meant they exited the tournament with just one point to their name, but Sylvinhoâs side put up a good fight in a tough group, and their fans produced one of the most impressive marches to the stadium weâve seen yet.

Turtle Power
UEFA bureaucracy means France captain Kylian MbappĂ© will sadly only be able to wear a plain black mask to protect his broken nose this summer, but that didnât stop a company from Tuesdayâs opponents Poland manufacturing this brilliant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mask for him anyway.
đš NEW: A polish company has made Kylian MbappĂ© a new mask.
Goalkeeper Marcin BuĆka will deliver it to him before or after the match vs Poland. @sz_janczyk pic.twitter.com/dMbkUlOYhz

We hardly knew ye
The departing Scotland team were given a traditional Bavarian send off, but it came across like their exit was being sarcastically mocked, if the truth be told.

At least their early dart will give midfielder John McGinn more time to learn how to play ranking games.

The clean bandit
If you are going to invade the pitch, the least you could do is make yourself useful, like this Romania fan did.

Pretty funny how the stewards just let him get on with it.
Donât forget the Copa AmĂ©rica
Away from the Euros, the Copa AmĂ©rica is also in full swing in the United States at the moment, and thereâs been plenty of fun stuff going on there too.
Such as Neymar (remember him?) surprising some unwitting street vendors by asking to buy a fake Brazil jersey. Their reaction when they realise who he is is priceless.

Neymar seemed to be having a lot less fun when he watched Brazilâs 0-0 draw with Costa Rica later in the day though.

Look who else was in attendance at SoFi Stadium to watch the game. How Brazil could probably have done with one of his inspirational team talks.

It was also Lionel Messiâs birthday on Monday, and these Argentina fans gathered en masse in New Yorkâs Times Square to serenade their hero.
